Increases in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders have raised global concerns, and the education of children with autism has been the focus of clinicians, educators, and parents worldwide. Although some concepts regarding autism are similar across countries, identification of children with autism and their eligibility for special education services may differ. A systematic review was made of special education laws for eligibility of autism classification in Japan, Korea, the UK, and the US and their relationship to the UN Conventions on the Rights of the Child and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF – CY) was used to compare assessment tools for children with autism. The results of the study indicated that there is variability in how children with autism are defined and considered eligible for special education across the four countries. Special education laws were based on the rights of equal and fair educational opportunities for children with special education needs. A match of content of common measures with ICF-CY codes indicated that two of the major measurement tools view children with autism as having restrictions in their abilities to perform activities rather than having a loss of physiological and psychological functions. The common language and framework of the ICF-CY may be a useful approach for teachers and parents in identifying children with autism and providing special education for them.
Abstract
Increases in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders have raised global concerns, and the education of children with autism has been the focus of clinicians, educators, and parents worldwide. Although some concepts regarding autism are similar across countries, identification of children with autism and their eligibility for special education services may differ. A systematic review was made of special education laws for eligibility of autism classification in Japan, Korea, the UK, and the US and their relationship to the UN Conventions on the Rights of the Child and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF – CY) was used to compare assessment tools for children with autism. The results of the study indicated that there is variability in how children with autism are defined and considered eligible for special education across the four countries. Special education laws were based on the rights of equal and fair educational opportunities for children with special education needs. A match of content of common measures with ICF-CY codes indicated that two of the major measurement tools view children with autism as having restrictions in their abilities to perform activities rather than having a loss of physiological and psychological functions. The common language and framework of the ICF-CY may be a useful approach for teachers and parents in identifying children with autism and providing special education for them.
